Purpose: KaWe ophthalmoscopes are used to examine the fundus of the eye using direct ophthalmoscopy. The detection of characteristic changes in the fundus of the eye enables the diagnosis of numerous diseases. The conceptual design of the KaWe ophthalmoscope allows for its use without pupil dilating medication. In this case, however, the patient’s field of sight is limited.

Proper operation of the instrument is guaranteed when original KaWe battery/charging handles are used. The use of alkaline batteries and original KaWe rechargeable batteries is recommended. The illumination intensity of KaWe EUROLIGHT® ophthalmoscopes can be adjusted. Decreasing the brightness causes the pupil to dilate while at the same time, the patient is less strongly blinded.

Warning: Never immerse the ophthalmoscope in any kind of liquid and always prevent all liquids from penetrating into the housing! Do not allow the ophthalmoscope to have direct contact with the eye. Long operation times can cause the parts of the instrument near the light to become very hot. The ophthalmoscope is not intended for use during operations and therefore simple cleaning and/or disinfection with an alcohol-based surface disinfecting agent is sufficient. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents! The ophthalmoscope cannot be sterilized. KaWe ophthalmoscopes are to be used at room temperatures of not greater than 35° C. KaWe ophthalmoscopes are subject to special safety measures with regard to their electromagnetic compatibility. The operation of the KaWe ophthalmoscope can be influenced by portable and mobile high-frequency communication devices.

accordance with the intended use of the unit. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damages. The user alone bears the risk.

Disinfection: To disinfect the ophthalmoscope, wipe it with a cloth that has been moistened with alcohol.

Further instructions, Maintenance, Storage: If necessary, the rechargeable batteries can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and then dried with a dry cloth. Avoid causing a short circuit.

Maintenance: Remove and replace damaged parts. If the instrument does not function properly, proceed as follows: 1. Replace the batteries, test functionality of instrument; 2. Replace the light bulb, test functionality of instrument; 3. Send the instrument in for repair.

The use of rechargeable batteries that are not explicitly approved for these units may cause explosions or leakages and the risk of fire, injuries and damage to surroundings. Should a rechargeable battery begin to leak and spilled substances come into contact with eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately rinse the affected area with water and consult a doctor.

Inspection and operation test: Check to ensure the smooth operation of all movable parts such as the aperture selection and correction lens dials. Turn on the instrument. Ensure that the head is properly connected to the handle. For all instruments: visually check for damage and wear. Keep all electrical contact parts away from impurities.

Further maintenance instructions that will prolong the lifespan of the rechargeable battery: Please heed the following instructions: The non-observance of these instructions may result in the batteries quickly losing their full charging capacity.

Packaging: Individually in bags with zippers or Velcro closures.

With NiMH technology, a lazy battery effect can occur that is analogous to the classic memory effect associated with NiCd technology. It is triggered by the energy that has not been completely spent prior to recharging the battery. This effect can be nearly eliminated by completely discharging the battery from time to time and then by recharging it two or three times, preferably in quick succession. Subsequently, the battery will regain its full capacity. If the battery no longer provides the amount of energy necessary for powering the unit, immediately turn off the unit and charge the battery (in order to prevent it from losing its charge completely, which would result in the destruction of the battery).

Sterilization: Not a surgical instrument, no sterilization necessary or possible Additional information: No special requirements User's Manual/Care Instructions NiMH/Li-Ion Rechargeable Batteries Purpose: The rechargeable batteries are to be used as an energy source for the specified KaWe products. Unsuited use/Contraindication of the products: Any use other than that described here is not in 17

fire. 10. Please only charge the rechargeable batteries in the appropriate battery charging unit. The charging unit and the compact adapter were designed especially for use with your unit. Please do not use them with other products or rechargeable batteries. All other products may cause the build-up of excessive heat or distortion and thus cause a risk of fire and electric shock. 11. Prior to disposing of the rechargeable battery, ensure that the contacts have been masked with adhesive strips or other insulating material in order to prevent their direct contact with other materials. Contact with other metallic material in rubbish bins may cause fire and explosion.

Please keep in mind that the rechargeable batteries can spontaneously discharge. When the batteries are not used or charged for a long period of time, a self-discharge may occur. In this case, the batteries’ capacity will be lost and they may become permanently defective. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damages. Therefore, when stored for more than one month, the batteries should be partially charged to approx. 50%. Please always respect the given charging time in order to prevent overcharging and the resulting destruction of the battery (the KaWe charging station KaWe MedCharge® 4000 has an integrated automatic shut-off). NiMH rechargeable batteries lose their capacity at low temperatures (as low as 0°C).

Risks and notice of possible danger: 1. Avoid short-circuiting the rechargeable batteries. 2. Keep the rechargeable batteries away from sources of heat and open flame. 3. Batteries are not to be immersed in water or salt water 4. Never try to disassemble or modify the rechargeable batteries or expose them to heat. 5. Avoid dropping the batteries and protect them against impact and shock as this may damage their housing. 6. Only use the rechargeable batteries and accessory parts recommended by KaWe. 7. When using a rechargeable battery for the first time, please make sure to charge it completely. 8. When charging is completed and the charging unit and the compact adapter are no longer in use, please disconnect them from the unit and the wall socket in order to avoid the risk of fire and other danger. 9. Do not cover the charging unit with any kind of material (tablecloths, carpets, bedclothes, pillows etc.) while operating the instrument. If you use the adapter for a long period of time, it may become overheated, become deformed or catch
